If you head out anytime in the next week or so, be prepared to do some significant creek crossings that will immerse your feet. I did it yesterday and took the Yellow trail to the intersecting White trail and while that wasn't bad (a few boggy spots) the crossings at the second White trail (the one in the middle of it all) was flooded at the Yellow trail and also 8-10" deep at the blue trail crossing (even with the newly installed bike bridge crossing it. Toss in that the flooding only needs 2 more feet to cover the Yellow Alternate crossing bridge and you have some serious mud going on. (I check it on the USGA site to see before heading out. Anything above 10ft on the gauge there and it's cross at your own risk.) So if you do, and aren't on a bike, you might want to bring spare pairs of socks with you. #justawarning

Nice 6 mile loop with a couple or decent but relatively climbs. Plenty of exposed roots to make it fun. Lots of hikers and runners on the weekend. Combine with Wolf River Trails vía the Greenline Connector (cross Walnut Grove at Farm Road) for a 20-30 mile ride.

I ride this trail weekly, year round. There are two parallel trails in the loop: the yellow and blue, plus a white section south of Walnut Grove, which is up on a narrow bluff. (The map on here actually highlights the white "goat trail" where the trails are shown farthest apart. The blue is there between the white and yellow but not highlighted on this map.) The yellow trail drys out the fastest, but expect some short bursts of deep sand in a few places. Lots of roots, mostly flat with a few climbs/drops here and there, so you can go fast. Lots of runners and bikers on the weekend. Great for trail running and family hikes too.

I loved it! But watch for hikers and unleashed dogs. I went on a weekend and it wasn't being used much and I was surprised. I love this trail and the bike stand with air and tools you can use to tweak your bike what a nice touch! I will use this trail again and again I highly recommend it moderate but fun!

I've run the wolf at least 15-20 times, mostly prior to its recent reconstruction.

This is the hot trail of the ones in Memphis. By that I mean you spend much less time in the woods and out traversing scorching field or gravel tracks. As a run, I like it for a change of pace and the winding trails. I'd say it's a bit of a challenge for a newbie 10k. For better wood trails, do the colored trails along north of wolf river. Those are true trail with length of 3, 5,8 and so forth.

I do like the Tour de Wolfe trail, however do not be fooled by these reviews calling the trail any type of flat or particularly easy. Many of these reviews and trackings are in fact for another sets of trails kept by Shelby Farms adjacent to the "main" park. These trails( yellow, blue, and white) are particularly easy, root, and hill free. Tour de Wolfe however is a more difficult trail with many short steep climbs and a few longer one, roots are still not too bad but there are a few.

The Tour de Wolf is in Shelby Farms Park which is owned by Shelby County and managed by the non-profit Shelby Farms Parm Conservancy. This is not a national park. The Tour de Wolf is open to hikers, mountain bikers, and runners. Get the Shelby Farms Park app for more information about paved and other dirt trails and other attractions: Go Ape (ropes/zip line course), boat and bike rentals, guided horseback rides, off-leash dog park, fishing, paintball & laser tag, playground. In the near future Patriot Lake will be expanded with a new Visitor Center, Restaurant/ Retreat Center, Events Stage. The SF Greenline (a rail trail) will also be extended east to Cordova.
